## What it does

The plugin bundles skills and reference material for Google Cloud Bigtable work. An agent can use them to reason about table schemas, write SQL queries, and handle infrastructure-related tasks. It is focused on Bigtable rather than general database support.

Claude Code installs it through a plugin marketplace. Gemini CLI takes the extension from its remote GitHub repository, while Codex uses a local checkout and its plugin manager. The repository also contains migration utilities for Cassandra, DynamoDB, and HBase, but the plugin itself centers on the Bigtable skills.

This is a practical fit when an agent needs help with a Cloud Bigtable schema, a query, or an infrastructure task. The setup path depends on the client you use.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add google/skills
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):

## AI Agent Skills

* **[Bigtable Skills](./skills/bigtable)** - A collection of skills and reference materials that enable AI agents (such as Gemini, Claude, and Cursor) to assist with Bigtable-related tasks, including schema design, SQL querying, and infrastructure management.

### Installation

#### Gemini CLI Installation

Gemini CLI extensions are installed directly from their remote GitHub repositories.

```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-bigtable-ecosystem
```

#### Claude Code Installation

Claude Code utilizes a marketplace system for plugins.

```bash
## Option 1. Install marketplace from CLI
claude plugin marketplace add GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-bigtable-ecosystem

## Option 2. Install marketplace from Claude
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-bigtable-ecosystem.git

# Step 2. List plugins
claude
/plugin

```

#### Codex Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-bigtable-ecosystem.git
cd cloud-bigtable-ecosystem

# Step 2. Open the plugin manager interface
codex
/plugins
# Browse & install plugins from available marketplaces.
```

#### Cursor Installation

See [Cursor Guide](https://cursor.com/docs/skills#installing-skills-from-github)

#### Agent Plugins–compatible clients

This repository is a valid [Agent Plugins](https://github.com/agentplugins/agent-plugins-spec) (v1) plugin. Any [compatible client](https://agent-plugins.org/compatible-clients) (VS Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Kiro, …) can install it directly using its own built-in plugin command — skills and MCP server included — by pointing at this repository:

```
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-bigtable-ecosystem
```

See your agent's documentation for its exact install command.

## Migrations Tools

*   **[Cassandra-Bigtable Adapter](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-bigtable-ecosystem/tree/main/cassandra-bigtable-migration-tools/cassandra-bigtable-proxy)** - This Proxy adapter allows existing Cassandra-based applications to connect seamlessly to Bigtable. This adapter functions as a wire-compatible Cassandra interface, enabling interaction via CQL with minimal configuration. It can be deployed on the same compute as your application or standalone.

*   **[Cassandra Bigtable Java Client](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-bigtable-ecosystem/tree/main/cassandra-bigtable-migration-tools/cassandra-bigtable-java-client)** - The Cassandra Bigtable Java Client allows your Java applications using Apache Cassandra, to connect seamlessly to a Bigtable instance.

*   **[DynamoDB to Bigtable Migration Tool](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/professional-services/tree/main/tools/dynamodb-bigtable-migration#bigtable-data-bridge---dynamodb-to-bigtable-migration-utility)** - The DynamoDB to Bigtable Migration tool is a powerful solution designed to streamline data transfer from DynamoDB to Bigtable. This tool automates schema translation, ensuring your data structure is mapped to Bigtable. It also provides options to accelerate and scale data transfer efficiently using Dataflow, minimizing downtime and maximizing performance.

*  **[Bigtable HBase Replication Library](https://github.com/googleapis/java-bigtable-hbase/tree/main/hbase-migration-tools/bigtable-hbase-replication)** - Facilitate near-zero downtime migrations from HBase to Bigtable by enabling to keep your Bigtable instance in sync with your production HBase cluster. Adding Bigtable as an HBase replica guarantees that mutations are applied to Bigtable in the same order as on HBase.
